Villa scouting players for Championship – report

Aston Villa have instructed their scouts to find ‘potential cheap new recruits who know the Championship’, according to the Daily Mirror.

Despite public proclamations from Villa boss Remi Garde, it seems the club have accepted that this season will end in relegation.

The Daily Mirror claim that Villa ‘are now targeting experienced, proven players at Championship level who will be Bosmans in the summer or are coming to the end of their contracts’, with many of last summer’s recruits presumably being sold after their terrible first season.
